A function is linear if it is of the form f(x) = mx + c where m and c are constants and a is not zero.
The function implies that an increase of one unit in the input variable, x, always results in an increase of m units in the output.

Interpolation in general is a way to determine intermediate values from a set of coordinates. Linear interpolation would be to fit a single linear function to the entire set of coordinates. Piecewise linear interpolation would then be to determine intermediate values from the set of coordinates by fitting linear functions between each set of coordinates. Connect-the-dots so to speak.
Your age is a linear function (of time).
A linear function is a function, or equation, that when graphed, will form a straight line.
by seeing if it has a common difference by subtracting the bigger number from the little number and getting the same number over and over and if it does that`s a common difference
